Okie Noodling 2 Movie Trailer (Will Give You Nightmares)
“I’m not about to stick my hand up in no place where I cain’t see,” says a desk cop in the new trailer for Okie Noodling 2, a new documentary on humans in Oklahoma who stick their hands down the mouths of mutant-like catfish, muscle them to shore in a fit of pirouettes (and mud and blood) and brag about it.
As seen in director Bradley Beesley’s cult documentary from 2001 (scored by the Flaming Lips), the process is called “noodling,” and the sequel examines how the backwoods phenomena is currently vying to take over baseball via YouTube and insomniac TV (alongside other “sports” like UFC, Tumblr and competitive eating) as America’s favorite past time. The trailer conjures the brilliance of Heavy Metal Parking Lot and many will find these two minutes more terrifying than premature glimpses of Jaws or Unsolved Mysteries at age six. Dumb IRL fun or Freudian nightmare? The bizarre title screen at the end offers no sane answers, just cartoon blood.
Okie Noodling 2 screens at the Alamo Ritz in Austin, Texas on July 7th (today) at 7 p.m., and at the Hollywood Theatre in Portland, Oregon on July 25th. For info on the DVD, go here.

Marisa Coughlan Biography
Blonde Marisa Coughlan started her acting career with guest appearances on television programs lending her sad-eyed innocent looks to episodes of “The Magnificent Seven”, “High Society”, “Diagnosis: Murder” (all CBS), “Weird Science” (syndicated) and “Step by Step” (ABC). She also had featured turns in “Fist of the North Star” (1996) and the telefilms “Our Son, the Matchmaker” (CBS, 1996) and “Sleepwalker Killing: From the Files of ‘Unsolved Mysteries’” (NBC, 1997). Coughlan made her television series regular debut playing a graduate student in the short-lived Kevin Williamson’s drama “Wasteland” (ABC, 1999), a “Dawson’s Creek” for the older set, chronicling the exploits of a group of twentysomethings in New York. Starring opposite already recognizable names Brad Rowe, Rebecca Gayheart and Eddie Mills, Coughlan would reach her largest audience to date on this Miramax/Williamson production.
1999 would prove to be Coughlan’s breakthrough year, starring alongside Katie Holmes in Williamson’s directorial feature “Teaching Mrs. Tingle”, a much-awaited black comedy. She cemented her “one to watch” status with a featured role in the ensemble of the college campus set psychothriller “Gossip” (2000). After appearing in a pair of poorly performing comedies in 2001 (”Freddie Got Fingered” and “Super Troopers”), Coughlan again returned to more independent-minded features when she appeared in 2002’s “Pumpkin” with Christina Ricci, Hank Harris and Dominique Swain.
